Central precocious puberty (CPP) presenting at a very young age is likely to have an underlying pathology. One of the pathologies is hypothalamic hamartoma (HH), a non-neoplastic tumour-like lesion located at the floor of the third ventricle, near the tuber cinereum. Two young children with CPP due to HH without gelastic seizures or mental retardation were successfully managed and described in this report.
